INTRODUCTION 


In  compliance  with  Act  No.  323,  Public  Acts  1913,  this  list  of  books  has 
been  prepared  by  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  and  the  State 
Librarian,  for  the  use  of  district  schools.  The  list  of  books  for  township  li- 
braries will  be  compiled  as  soon  as  possible. 

The  new  catalog  is  an  enlargement  of  "A  First  Selection  of  500  Children's 
Books  for  a  Library"  compiled  originally  for  the  State  Library,  by  Miss  Effie 
L.  Powers,  children's    librarian  of  the  Public  Library,  St.  Louis,  Mo.    The 

E resent  compilation  has  been  made  by  Miss  Mabel  C.  True.    The  books 
ave  been  selected  after  personal  examination  and  reference  to  library  lists 
made  by  librarians,  whose  judgment  cannot  be  doubted. 

When  possible  a  choice  of  different  editions  has  been  given,  but  in  all  cases 
an  effort  has  been  made  to  avoid  cheaply  bound  and  poorly  made  books. 
The  more  expensive  editions  are  not  recommended  for  purchase  by  schools 
which  have  a  limited  amount  of  money.  The  text  of  the  several  editions  is 
identical,  the  difference  being  in  the  paper,  binding  and  illustrations. 

The  discount  price  in  the  catalog  is  the  price  for  which  the  books  should  be 
furnished  to  Libraries  and,  in  all  cases,  be  allowed  by  bookdealers;  if  the  local 
dealer  will  not  follow  those  prices  the  following  bookdealers  in  Michigan  have 
agreed  to  furnish  them: 

McCaulev  Bros Detroit 

J.  V.  Sheehan  &  Co Detroit 

George  Wahr Ann  Arbor 

Crotty  Bros Lansing 

These  prices  do  not,  however,  include  freight  or  express  charges  which  are 
paid  by  the  purchaser  from  the  point  from  which  the  books  are  purchased. 

It  is  proposed  to  issue  semi-annually  supplementary  lists  of  new  books, 
thus  keeping  the  purchasers  in  touch  with  late  publications.  The  books 
contained  in  the  catalog  will  be  permanently  placed  in  the  State  library 
for  inspection  by  school  officers  and  others  who  may  wish  to  personally  ex- 
amine the  books  before  purchasing. 

It  has  been  unofficially  stated  that  the  amendment  to  the  parcel  post  law, 
which  will  become  operative  March  15,  1914,  provides  for  the  inclusion  of 
books,  also  an  increase  in  the  number  of  pounds  which  may  be  sent  and  a 
decrease  in  the  rates.  Under  this  amendment  packages  of  books  weighing 
not  more  than  twenty  pounds  may  be  sent,  through  the  mail;  full  information 
on  this  subject  mav  be  obtained  from  the  postmaster.

Supt.  of  Public  Instruction.

ments, adaptations  and  relative  subject  matter  for  temporary  use.  The 
selection  for  children's  use  should  be  made  from  actual  reading  of  the  books

MYTHOLOGY 

"Myths.  In  early  ages  man  recognized  forces  external  to  himself  which 
largely  determined  the  conditions  of  his  life.  These  forces  of  nature,  such 
as  light  and  darkness,  fire  and  summer  and  winter,  he  personified  and  made 
the  subject  of  stories.  In  the  same  way  he  theorized  about  the  origin  and 
control  of  the  universe,  attributing  the  governing  power  to  one  God  or  many 
gods,  and  inventing  stories  about  the  relations  of  these  divinities  to  each 
other  and  to  man. 

All  these  stories  are  called  myths.  Examples  are  the  stories  of  Persephone, 
the  spring;  Phaeton,  the  driver  of  the  Greek  sun-god's  chariot;  and  the  death 
of  Baldur,  the  Norse  sun-god."

FAIRY  TALES  AND  FABLES 

"Fairy  tales  are  not  ordinarily  concerned  with  the  great  forces  of  life 
like  mythology,  but  with  its  details.  They  represent  the  effort  to  imagine 
a  freer,  richer  life  independent  of  actual  conditions.  The  fairies,  genii,  trolls, 
etc.,  are  the  supernatural  beings  who  either  bring  all  good  things  to  pass, 
or  continually  thwart  man's  desires  and  work  him  ill.  The  fairy  tale  does 
not  deal  directly  with  ideas  of  right  and  wrong.  It  may  have  a  moral  purpose, 
as  in  Andersen's  tales,  but  this  purpose  is  subordinated  to  the  story. 

Fables  do  not  deal  with  supernatural  beings,  and  depart  from  the  natural 
only  in  giving  to  animals  and  inanimate  objects  human  characteristics  and 
powers.  The  fable  differs  from  the  fairy  tale  in  having  a  direct  moral  purpose, 
usually  showing  the  result  of  a  single  trait  of  conduct,  such  as  vanity  in  the 
fable  of  the  Frog  and  the  ox."

The  children  and  the  world  owe  this  delightful  absurdity 
to  a  little  girl  friend  of  Mr.  Thackeray's,  as  it  was 
written  to  amuse  her  during  an  illness.  It  is  his  only 
juvenile,  and  more's  the  pity.  The  rose  and  the  ring 
each  had  the  power  of  making  its  wearer  charming  in 
the  eyes  of  any  beholder.  Naturally  as  it  changed 
hands  some  complications  of  the  affections  arose,  and 
these  give  Mr.  Thackeray  his  opportunity,  which  he 
improves  far  beyond  the  power  of  any  brief  note  to  set 
forth. — Prentice  and  Power.

FOLK-LORE  AND  LEGEND 

"Legends  axe  mixtures  of  popular  tales  and  literary  invention  cast 
in  narrative  form  and  told  as  records  of  fact.  They  usually  deal  with 
some  character  of  heroic  type,  such  as  The  Cid,  and  Siegfried;  some 
storied  locality,  as  in  the  legend  of  Sleepy  Hollow;  or  some  event  or  period 
in  the  mist-shrouded  early  history  of  nations,  as  in  William  Tell  and  Hora- 
tius  at  the  bridge.  The  terms  myth  and  legend  are  often  used  inter-change- 
ably;  and  as  the  term  myth  is  used  by  scholars,  they  have  something  of  the 
same  significance,  that  is,  folklorists  believe  that  myths  are  based  on  some 
actual  custom  or  observance  of  the  primitive  people  who  have  made  them, 
as  legends  are  based  on  the  deed  of  some  actual  hero.  As  the  terms  myth 
and  legend  are  used  in  literature,  however,  there  is  a  real  distinction,  namely, 
the  myth  is  wholly  the  product  of  the  imagination  and  has  a  symbolic  meaning, 
while  the  legend  usually  has  a  basis  of  historic  fact.  The  legends  of  both 
Greeks  and  Scandinavians  are  inextricably  interwoven  with  their  myths, 
as  in  the  Odyssey  and  the  stories  of  Beowulf  and  Siegfried. 

Folklore  fairy  tales,  fables,  legends,  etc.,  which  are  the  product  of  the 
folk  mind  rather  than  the  deliberate  invention  of  a  single  author  may  be 
included  under  the  general  term  of  folk  lore.  The  fact  that  many  nations 
have  the  same  folk  stories  probably  shows  that  they  are  based  on  the  same 
racial  myth  common  to  several  people.  From  constant  retelling  they  have 
either  lost  their  underlying  meaning  and  become  purely  fanciful  stories, 
or  have  become  connected  with  some  hero,  either  mythical,  like  Perseus,  or 
national  and  semi-historic,  like  Frithjof,  Siegfried  and  Horatius.  Usually 
these  cycles  of  hero-myth  are  concoctions  of  many  different  myths  strung 
together  by  some  ingenious  poet  rather  than  by  the  people  as  a  whole."

tion on  child  labor,  the  negro  problem,  illicit  distilleries, 
gun  manufacturing,  immigration,  the  "Black  Hand," 
etc.  The  book  will  be  more  useful  than  popular  and

5-6  True,  J.  P.     The  iron  star.    Little 1 .  50       1 .00 

The  iron  star  was  a  meteorite  which  fell  to  the  earth  in 
the  myth  age,  where  Umpl  and  Sptz,  two  savages, 
stood  gazing  in  terror.  They  guarded  the  pieces  of 
iron  all  their  days  and  handed  them  down  to  their  child- 
ren from  generation  to  generation.  The  author  takes 
this  way  of  suggesting  the  growth  of  civilization  from 
the  time  of  the  cave  men  down  through  the  stone, 
bronze  and  iron  ages  to  the  days  of  Miles  Standish. —

Huck  Finn  is  drawn  from  life;  Tom  Sawyer,  also,  but 
not  from  an  individual — he  is  a  combination  of  three 
boys  whom  I  knew  and  therefore  belongs  to  a  composite 
order  of  architecture. — Preface.

As  the  story  runs,  the  little  Edward  VI  of  England

both  lads  have  many  strange  adventures  in  their  new

her.  The  aunt  fails  to  understand  the  fearless,  honest, 
impulsive,  beauty-loving  child,  and  is  unconciously 
cruel  to  her.  The  things  which  Rebecca  thinks  of  to 
do  are  enough  to  astonish  less  conservative  people  than

Written  for  older  readers,  this  story  of  a  class  of  men 
which  is  rapidly  passing  away  is  of  quite  equal  interest 
to  the  older  children.  The  author  has  not  yielded  to 
the  temptation  to  paint  his  subject  in  too  strong  colors,

by  Andrew  Lang.     Scribner 1 .  50      1 .  00 

The  charm  of  this  history  to  children  lies  chiefly  in  the 
author's  use  of  legend.  Also  it  is  well  for  children  to 
read  such  a  personal  story  of  events  since  their  tendency 
is  to  accept  the  printed  page  as  absolute  fact  and  the 
text  book  as  final.

English  king,  and  the  mists  of  a  thousand  years  have 
failed  to  obscure  the  worth  and  beauty  of  that  life. 
Miss  Tappan's  telling  of  his  story  had  a  quiet  beauty 

and  power. — Prentice  and  Power.

REFERENCE  BOOKS 

To  judge  a  reference  book  correctly  as  to  its  general  reliability  requires 
a  specialized  knowledge  of  details.  As  reference  books  are  also  expensive, 
especial  care  is  needed  in  their  selection.  To  prevent  mistakes  in  this  direc- 
tion, this  list  has  been  compiled.  Much  time  and  thought  have  been  given 
to  it,  each  book  having  been  personally  examined  and  compared  carefully 
with  others  of  its  class,  and  with  books  in  similar  lists  in  other  states.  The 
aim  has  been  to  include  such  books  as  would  supplement  the  school  texts 
and  the  material  in  the  main  list,  either  by  supplying  further  information 
or  by  giving  it  in  a  more  concise  and  scientific  form.  Nothing  beyond  the 
comprehension  of  the  grade  pupil  has  been  included,  though  most  are  usually 
classed  as_  adult  books,  and  a  few  were  placed  here  as  too  mature  in  treatment 
for  inclusion  in  any  juvenile  list.  In  contrast  with  the  cultural  aim  of  the 
main  collection,  these  books  are  tools  with  which  to  further  and  enrich  the 
work  of  the  school.

MICHIGAN  BIBLIOGRAPHY 

This  includes  two  classes  of  material;  (1)  books  about  Michigan  which 
are  not  included  in  the  general  collection,  either  because  they  were  text- 
books or  because  of  maturity  of  treatment  which  made  them  unsuitable 
for  a  strictly  juvenile  list;  and  (2)  references  to  books  already  in  the  collec- 
tion, which  contain  Michigan  material.  It  is  hoped  that  this  list  will  be 
found  valuable  and  useful.  Additions  to  it  will  be  found  in  the  lists  of  new 
books  which  will  follow  the  present  publication  semi-annually. 

Brief  references  to  topics  found  in  all  histories  have  not  been  included 
here.     For  such  references  see  the  indexes  of  the  books  themselves.

tured, is  carried  through  with  such  joyous  boyishness  that 
any  touch  of  melodrama  is  avoided. — Wilson.
